It's 20m ISK - that's 5 times the average ANNUAL salary in Iceland. After taxes, it would take about 8 years for the average employee to earn that much.

Thankfully that woman who ran off from her 16000 kr cab fare was sentenced to a month in jail. Can't have people like that roaming the streets freely. One might perhaps suggest that she serve her time in Althingi? Ignorantia legis neminem excusat.
